“…Diverse viruses have been reported to infect cetaceans, including adenoviruses [8], astroviruses [9], circoviruses [10], coronaviruses [11], enteroviruses [12], herpesviruses [13], influenza viruses [14], morbilliviruses [15,16], papillomaviruses [17], pegiviruses [18], pestiviruses [19], poxviruses [20], and rhabdoviruses [21]. However, it remains largely obscure how these viruses originated in cetaceans, and how these viruses evolved during the shift from land to water.…”
